18x7.5 or 8 oe 9 spoke wheels
Does any one know if the oe 9 spoke audi wheels will fit a 2000 A6 2.7T with HP-2 lucas calipers. If so, can you tell me where I can pick up a set at a reasonable price. The ones that I have on the car is 17x7.5 bbs RC with a et of 43.

The OEM 9-spoke S-line wheels (18x8 ET43) do NOT fit over HP2 calipers without spacers. BTDT. However, there are several replicas with ET35 that do fit. Strangely enough, the 17x7.5" version of the wheel does fit. Has to do with the shape of the back of the spoke. The spokes on the 18" wheel curve more inward as it approaches the hub, and that is why that wheel hits the HP2 caliper.
